Taylor Institution
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Taylor Institution is Oxford University's centre and library for the study of modern European languages and literature, in Oxford, England.
It was established in 1845 having largely been funded by a bequest from the estate of notable English architect Sir Robert Taylor (1714–1788).
The Institution and its Library are housed in the east wing of a neo-classical building (architect: Charles Cockerell) constructed to accommodate the Institution and the Randolph Galleries (now the Ashmolean Museum), located at the southern end of St Giles'. There is also a Greek and Slavonic annex in Wellington Square.
